Stolen budget

Sir,

The issue of public toilet provision on the island, and indeed elsewhere in North Ayrshire, is a very serious one and the Banner front page story last week reflects that well. On your letters page, Neil Arthur makes more good points and rightly condemns local politicians for their inaction on the matter: it is certainly true that both Labour and SNP council administrations over the past year have supported this cut in the vain hope that community groups would come forward and do their work for them.
